(4) K-3 Math Around Us series. These volumes attempt to explain very basic math concepts of counting and patterns for young children. Some of the examples work well while others are a little too abstract to be supported by the photographs, clear and engaging though they are. The books may lead readers to seek out references to these concepts in the world around them. Glos., ind. Review covers these Math Around Us titles: Counting in the City and Patterns at the Museum.
